Gary Anderson is now head coach of our Wisconsin Badgers football team. Anderson
comes from UtahState.
Utah
ended the season with an impressive 11-2 record. While he coached the Aggies, his focus was on
defense. Utah ranked among the top ten in holding
opponents to fewest points. The Badgers defense gave up over 320 yards per
game. They could use some talent on
defense.

The Aggies were a team in need of serious leadership when Anderson took over. The
loss of Anderson puts Utah back in the hunt for a
replacement. Something they did just four
seasons ago. Mel Tucker and Chris Ash
were both candidates for the Badgers job, but Alvarez felt Anderson wad heads and shoulders above the
rest.

The Badgers have over two dozen returning starters. Guiding these young men will be a monumental
task. Anderson
will also be looking to recruit solid replacements as the seasons roll on. In the meantime, the Badgers continue to
prepare for the Rose Bowl game against Stanford.

Packers playoff tickets are on sale now. With the Packers taking the division title, they are a lock for the 2012 NFL playoffs. Ticket King has the best selection and lowest prices. Aaron Rodgers has once again led his team to the playoffs. Will Green Bay shake off the ghosts of last season? After going 15-1, they lost to the Giants in the first round. That was certainly a game that Packer fans would like to forget.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Chicago Bulls are vying for first place in the NBA Eastern Conference. With the season now in full swing, some teams are pulling away from others, while many are just a game or two behind the league leaders. In the case of our Milwaukee Bucks, they are currently one game behind the Bulls, only because Chicago has played one more game than Milwaukee. As for conference play, our Bucks have a better win-loss record when compared to the Bulls. Bringing up the rear, is Cleveland. The Cavaliers are already seven games behind the bulls, and have won just two of their last ten games.

Next up for the Bucks are the Sacramento Kings at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Tip-off is set for 7pm. From there, the Bucks head to Cleveland, and then back to Milwaukee where the Clippers come to town. Milwaukee sticks around for one more game before heading to Memphis and Boston. The Cavaliers come to the Bradley center just before the holiday break.

Jason Aldean Summerfest tickets are available now. The show is months away, but fans are excited to know that they can already find seats for the show on June 29 at the Marcus Amphitheater. Mr. Aldean is riding high off of the success of his popular album titled "My Kind of Party." He brings Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett along for the ride. This is the first Summerfest 2013 headline announcement.

Aldean was also a headline act back in 2011. He may be a true blue country star, but his slow ballads are bringing him the most success. The song Don't You Wanna' Stay is a duet that he recorded with Kelly Clarkson, a well known pop star. Prior to that, hit hit the number one country charts with the song "Why."

He calls it the "Night Train Tour," and some stops will include Miranda Lambert as one of his opening acts. Will we see Kelly Clarkson on the Marcus stage? There are select dates that include Clarkson, but at the time of this posting, she is not listed for the Milwaukee Show. See you at Summerfest 2013!

Badgers football fans are once again heading to the Rose Bowl. This is the third year in a row that Wisconsin has made it to Pasadena, and we have Rose Bowl tickets in stock now. Bucky will take on Stanford on January 1. Will you be there, along with the tens of thousands of alumni, friends, and family members? All you have to do is check out our prices for tickets, and you are on your way.

Wisconsin had a rough go this season, losing three games in overtime, and ending their season with a 8-5 overall record. Since Ohio State and Penn State are both ineligible for bowl game appearances, our Badgers went to the Big Ten Championship game. They trounced Nebraska, at Lucas Oil Stadium, scoring 70 points in a contest that was pretty much over by the start of the third quarter.

Stanford Beats Oregon

Stanford is the 8th best team in NCAA football, taking on our unranked Badgers in the 99th Rose Bowl. Will Wisconsin have what it takes to win it all this time? Stanford managed to beat the Oregon Ducks, who ranked number one at the time. That's what it took for the Cardinals to get the invitation. Their playing style is very similar to Wisconsin's. Which team will come out on top? We're rooting for our Badgers.

Wednesday, November 28, 2012

The Wisconsin Badgers are headed to the Big Ten Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium. Bucky will take on Nebraska this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8:17pm local time. After a season where Wisconsin lost a few heart breakers, they are still on their way to see who is the top team in the Big Ten. Newcomers Nebraska will try their best to take down our Badgers. Which bowl will Wisconsin be invited to? Winning the Big Ten Championship will certainly prompt the powers that be to give Wisconsin a better bowl bid.

Badgers Lose To Nebraska In September

Wisconsin lost to Nebraska on September 29, on the road, at Lincoln. Lucas Oil Stadium would be neutral territory for both, but just a six hour drive for Badgers fans. Our guess is that Bucky fans will be there in the thousands. See you there football fans!

The Wisconsin Badgers will take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers on November 17, at the Mariucci Arena in Minneapolis. This is college hockey at its finest. Can the Badgers bounce back from a disappointing season in 2011? Let's hope so. This is a two game series on the road for the Badgers. From there, the team will head back to their home ice at the Kohl Center. They will play the Minnesota State Mankato Mavericks on 11/23. Go Bucky!

Friday, November 9, 2012

Once again, it's Admirals Hockey Season. This year the team hopes to win the cup! Milwaukee loves their hockey, and what better way to support the team than to head on down to the BMO Harris Bradley Center for a game? Admirals tickets are priced for family fun.

The Admirals will take on the Chicago Wolves on November 9. Chicago is currently in third place, and gunning for the top. The Admirals still have time to make up for lost ground, and a win against the Wolves would certainly help in that effort.

In fact, the Wolves come back to Milwaukee on November 30 for another action packed game. Milwaukee will face the Texas Stars on December 5. The Stars in the basement at this time, and looking to bring about some serious scoring in the next few weeks. The puck drops at 7pm for that game.

On December 16, the Admirals will host the Hamilton Bulldogs. Hamilton has shown to be a contender, and the Admirals would love nothing more than to knock that team down a few pegs. No matter the opponent, hockey in Milwaukee is always a good time.

Tuesday, November 6, 2012

Good Day Bucks fans! The team looks pretty hot right now. Yes, the season is early. Still, it's nice to see our team doing well right out of the gate. The buzzer-beater last Saturday was amazing. Brandon Jennings put the Bucks up by two at the end of regulation.

Most Bucks fans want to go to some of the "marquee" games. That means you want to know how much Bucks versus Heat tickets are going for. We have a great selection of tickets for every Bucks home game, but some of you just want us to skip right to the good ones. Consider going on an off night for the best prices.

We hope that the Bucks continue to impress fans, throughout the 2012 season. Who knows, we might see the team make the playoffs this year!

The Packers face the Cardinals this Sunday, and Lambeau Field tickets are on sale now. Will our Packers play up to the level of their next opponent? At first glance, it seemed like they performed poorly this past Sunday. Do fans realize how many first string players were on the sideline? Let's take a look at what Green Bay had to work with.

The Packers two best wide receivers were out. Jennings hopes to be back before the season ends. Jordy Nelson sat out for the first time, nursing a bad hamstring. James Jones, Donald Driver, Randall Cobb, and Jermichael Finley had to pick up the slack. It was great to see Driver make a touchdown catch. There won't be many more for Mr. Driver, and the crowd gave him a good and proper level of praise. Jones had seven catches, for a total of 78 yards. Finley had a pair of catches, and so did Driver. Cobb had one touchdown and a total of five catches. It wasn't Rodgers' best day, but the Packers managed to get the job done.

Packers Defense A Bit Thin Last Sunday

On the defensive side, the Packers were working without Jerel Worthy, Mike Neal, Sam Shields and Nick Perry. We all know that Charles Woodson is not coming back for at least three more weeks. If anything, it gave the defense a chance to define their new roles. Some guys stepped up, while others just held on for the ride. Cecil Shorts gave the secondary fits last Sunday, and if the Packers had gone up against a team with a quarterback in top shape, the game could certainly have gone the other way.

Now the Packers face a Cardinals team that is surely feeling desperate. The Cardinals blinked yesterday, and it wasn't pretty. Their offense isn't the best in the league, but their defense has left the door open for opportunities. The team now stands at 4-4. The Packers will have to play a better game on offense if they hope to overcome the Cardinals defense. As for how the Packers match up with the Arizona's offense, there is less to worry about. Green Bay needs to put the pedal to the metal, and put the game out of reach.

Friday, October 26, 2012

Our Milwaukee Bucks play tonight at the Resch Center in Green Bay. They will take on the Timberwolves, and tip-off is set for 7pm. This will be the last game for the Bucks before the real fun begins. We are just one week away from the start of the NBA season, and Bucks tickets for the home opener are available now. The Bucks will face the Celtics on the road in that first game. They come home to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday, November 3.

Just in time for the regular season to start, the Bucks used their contract options to lock in Tobias Harris, Ekpe Udoh, and Larry Sanders. Sanders played in over fifty games last season, and was the team leader in blocked shots. Udoh played in just over sixty games, with a scoring average hovering around 4.8, pulling down just under four rebounds per night as well. This will surely be an interesting lineup. Tickets for all Bucks home games are available now.

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

The Packers are on to St. Louis for the second of a three game road trip. Should Green Bay take out the Rams, they will be one game above .500. This is not what the fans expected from the team that went 15-1 last year. Still, they won it all when going 10-6 in 20l0. Great things can still happen for Green Bay.

If you are heading to the Edward Jones Dome, here are a few of the more interesting facts about the venue. It might not be as big as Lambeau Field, but the fans can certainly make enough noise to rattle opposing teams.

Edward Jones Dome Information

When it comes to seating, there are none other than twelve price categories to choose from. The Rams have reserved the lower level sections that line up with mid field as their most expensive seat. That would be sections 140-141 along with 113-114. From there, the prices are lower as you fan out to the corners and end zone sections. The cheapest Rams ticket would be for seats in the upper-most level end zone. There are well over 100 luxury boxes at the venue.The Edward Jones Dome opened just 16 years ago. The cost to build it topped 280 million dollars.

Monday, October 15, 2012

We had to wait until late Sunday night, but now we can celebrate the fact that our Badgers and Packers had big wins this weekend. Wisconsin took on Purdue, and Montee Ball made up for lost time, rushing for over 200 yards. He also broke the Badgers school record for most touchdowns. The number stands at 72, with more games to play. What was the play that shut down any hopes of Purdue coming back? It was Ball's 67 yard run for daylight that came in the second half of the game. Ball was named Big Ten Player of the Week. That comes as no surprise.

Packers Take Down Texans

As for our beloved Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers threw for six touchdown passes last night, smoking the 5-0 Texans on their home turf. James Jones and Jordy Nelson were the recipients of five of those six TD passes. The sixth touchdown pass went to Tom Crabtree on a third down play where Aaron had just milliseconds to release the ball. Crabtree faked a block, moved right, and streaked for 48 yards and a score.

The win didn't come without a price, as the Packers linebackers went down one after the other. We will see who sits out next week's game at St. Louis. Packers versus Rams tickets are available now. Let's hope that our Wisconsin teams come up victorious once again.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012

Are you looking for Badgers football tickets? Ticket King is your local source for Big Ten sports. The Badgers are coming off an impressive win at Camp Randall last Saturday. Their next opponent is the Purdue Boilermakers, on the road in West Lafayette. The Boilermakers are currently 3-2, and took apart Michigan last Saturday. This will be the Boilermakers homecoming game.

The Badgers will play at home on October 20. They face the Minnesota Golden Gophers that day, and the winner of the game will take home the ceremonial Paul Bunyan Axe. This will be the 122 time that the two teams have met. The historical win-loss record for this match up is currently at 58-55-8, with Minnesota in the lead.

Badgers Versus Spartans

Wisconsin will stay at home for two weeks, playing the Michigan State Spartans on October 27. At the time of this post, Michigan also has a 3-2 record for 2012. They won a close game at home against Indiana, bouncing back from their one point loss to Ohio State. The Spartans look tough this year, losing to a pair of powerhouse teams in Notre Dame and the Buckeyes.

The Badgers are 4-2, with losses at Nebraska and Oregon. The team took care of business against the Fighting Illini last week. Going into the fourth quarter, the game was close. The Badgers scored three touchdowns in that fourth quarter, putting the game away at the 3:26 mark. Montee Ball ran for daylight in that final drive, and had a net total of 116 yards on the day.

Milwaukee Bucks fans are looking forward to the first preseason game of 2012. The Bucks will play face the Cavaliers on 10/9, in Cleveland. There are a total of six preseason games to be played before the Bucks play their first official game on November 2 in Boston. The second October game for the Bucks will be at Chicago. The team will also play against the Grizzlies in La Crosse Wisconsin.

The Bucks are looking forward to the new season, as some familiar faces return to the court, while others have moved on to other teams. The biggest move for Milwaukee in the off season was at the position of starting center. Andrew Bogut is now a Golden State Warrior, and currently healing up from an ankle injury. He leaves Milwaukee with a 12.7 points per game average. Replacing Bogut will be Sam Dalembert and Joel Przybilla. Brandon Jennings will be coming back for another season. Monta Ellis, Beno Udrih and Marquis Daniels will also get playing time at guard.

Bucks Tickets for Home and Away Games

Bucks tickets for the upcoming games at home are available now. Ticket King has tickets ranging in location from upper level behind the hoop, to court-side tickets, just yards from your favorite players.

Green Bay Packers fans were not happy with the outcome of last Monday Night's game. In fact, millions of football fans were upset with the way the game ended. In the eyes of so many, it looks like the Packers got a raw deal. At this point, there is little one can do but try and support their favorite team. We are still huge Packers fans. We still plan to go to Lambeau Field this Sunday and watch the Packers take on the New Orleans Saints. If you are with us, then check out our Lambeau Field ticket prices for the upcoming game. Do you think that the Packers will be fired up for a win? You can count on it. No, the strike has not been settled, but you don't go to Lambeau to cheer on the zebras.

Monday, September 17, 2012

The Brewers have rallied and the team is still in the playoff hunt. Thanks to the changes in Major League Baseball, there is one more wild card team taking a shot at the post season. The Milwaukee Brewers are just a handful of games out of playoff contention. The Cardinals hold that honor for now, but the Brew Crew has their sights set. Will Milwaukee make it to the post season in 2012?

For now, fans are snapping up tickets for the few home games left to be played. The team is on the road until September 28. They will face the Houston Astros that night at Miller Park. The team is in Pittsburgh for a three game series, before taking on the Nationals at Washington. From there, the Brewers are back home, and hopefully the team holding the keys to that Wild Card series! Brewers tickets for the remaining home games are available now.

Tuesday, September 4, 2012

Kiss and Motley Crue will perform at Alpine Valley on September 8. This is the final show in 2012 for the very popular outdoor venue, and it's sure to be a great one. These are two high profile bands with a huge fan base, and they compliment each other nicely. Motley Crue has a stage show that includes a lot of eye-popping effects. KISS is well known for their stage antics and theatrics. Tickets for the Alpine show are still available.

KISS has a huge catalog of albums to their name. They have produced over 25 albums, going back to their 1974 self titled debut. It would take three years for the band to produce a hit song. That album was titled Destroyer. Some say that the hit song on the album was Shout it Out Loud, but the slow ballad Beth was just as popular.

Motley Crue is a band that just celebrated their 31st year together. They have sold over 80 million albums and continue to tour with their original line up at this time. During the early 1990's the band hired John Corabi as a replacement for Vince Neil. Tommy Lee spent some time on the sidelines between 1999 and 2004. The band put aside their differences in 2004, and has been going strong ever since.

Friday, August 31, 2012

So You Think You Can Dance is coming to Milwaukee on November 2. That event date will mark the seventh performance on a tour that ends on 12/5 in Hollywood Florida. The popular Fox television show is based upon dance competition. As one group faces another, individuals are eliminated from week to week. At the time of this post, there are only six competitors still in the running. The touring group is made up of former contestants. They will perform their most popular dance numbers just for fun. Tickets for SYTYCD are on sale now.

When the Parrotheads come to Wisconsin, it's party time! Ticket King has everything from lawn tickets to seats up close to the stage. Lots of Buffett fans like the lawn section, as it's the best place to meet people from all over the world. If you have ever been to one of his shows, it's an amazing spectacle of colors and fun. The show starts at 8pm, and at this time, there is no opening act scheduled.

The Green Bay Packers played their second 2012 preseason game
last night, losing to the Cleveland Browns, 35-10.Packers fans want to see more from the
defense this year, and two players stood out at Lambeau on Thursday evening.
Two rookies look to contribute this season, and were doing good things in the
secondary.Casey Hayward was as close to
a pick six as you can get, when he got in front of Josh Gordon’s outstretched
arms.Throughout the night, he managed
to keep his man in check, but for a few completions.

Jerron McMillian showed some spark in the second quarter
when he had a solo tackle for a two yard loss, and stuffed Brandon Jackson on a
short gain just a couple plays later. McMillian loves to hit, and the Packers
coaching staff is honing his skills accordingly. He’s fighting for a spot in
the nickel and dime defense, and has to prove that he’s a better bet than Anthony
Levine or M.D. Jennings.

Aaron Rodgers Connects With Jordy Nelson

Aaron Rodgers found Jordy Nelson in the end zone on a play
that he basically repeated, after Nelson came up short on a pass down the
sideline. Aaron looked sharp, and played just enough to get loose, before
Harrell took over for most of the night. Graham has some work to do, but it’s
looking like he will secure the spot of backup. Next up for the Packers is
another Thursday night game.They head
to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. Game time is set for 6pm.Green Bay Packers tickets for the final preseason
game are on sale now.

The Kohl Center in Madison Wisconsin is home to both the Badgers Hockey and Basketball teams. This winter, the Badger Men’s hockey team will play eighteen games at home, starting with the “U.S. Under 18 team” game on October 6. That one is not an official Badgers hockey game, but it gives folks a glimpse of the up and coming talent from the region. The first home game for the Badgers is on November 2, when they face Colorado College. That’s game one of a two game series.

The Badgers will head to Minneapolis to take on the Golden Gophers for a pair of road games on November 16 and 17. Between November 23 and December 14, the team will have six home games, and a pair of away games in Denver. Their first game of 2013 will be on January 4, at Anchorage. Game time for that series is set for 10 pm local time. Anchorage will come to the Kohl Center on January 25 and 26. The entire Badgers hockey schedule is listed below.

Thursday, August 9, 2012

In just a couple of months, the Milwaukee Bucks will kick off their 2012-13 season. This is the first full NBA season since the strike shortened affair of last year. It all starts with a preseason game at the United Center in Chicago. There will be a second preseason game against the Washington Wizards at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. That game is set for 10/20. The first official game will be an exciting match up between Milwaukee and Boston. Bucks tickets for all home and away games are already available.

The Bucks first regular season home game will be against the the Cavaliers. That November 3 game is one of two home games to be played before they head to the Verizon Center in Washington DC. That one game road trip will be followed up with one game back in Milwaukee. They will play the Celtics on a Saturday night, 11/10. Expect the team to try to make their mark early in the season. Milwaukee will head to Philadelphia for one game, then once again come back to Milwaukee for a pair of games against the Pacers and Hornets.

Joel Przybilla Comes Back to Milwaukee

The Bucks will be without Andrew Bogut for the first time in years. They have Samuel Lambert, Drew Gooden, and Ekpe Udoh to take his place at Center. Who will step up and make their mark under the hoop? We won't know until later this fall. In 2011, Ekpe Udoh came to Milwaukee from Golden State. He averaged 5.5 points per game, and pulled down nearly four rebounds during his usual 20 minutes on the court each night. He will be called upon to support Joel Przybilla, who signed a one year deal just three days ago. Przybilla started his NBA career in Milwaukee, and looks to finish his time in basketball back here it all started. He's had multiple procedures on both knees, and will have limited playing time for sure.

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

As promised, the BMO Harris Pavilion will be booking shows for post-Summerfest concerts. After all, it's a beautiful venue. The next show on the list is My Morning Jacket, and they perform this Saturday. The show starts at 7:30, and the opening act is none other than Band of Horses.

BMO Harris Pavilion Layout and Sections

For those of you who didn't make it down to Summerfest this year, the BMO Harris Pavilion is new to the grounds. It replaces the old M&I stage, right next to the Marcus Amp. This is not your typical Summerfest side stage. The pavilion is under cover, with assigned seats for nearly ten thousand people. The stage faces west, which means that your view of the stage has Lake Michigan as its backdrop. From what I have heard, it's an amazing view. There are 13 sections in total, with five sections that are just in front of the stage. Sections six through thirteen are set behind one through five. During the Summerfest run, there is room enough for folks to stand behind the assigned seats. The venue is set low, so those that have to stand in the back can see the stage with no obstructions.

This is not a four season venue. Aside from the roof, it's wide open to the wind, rain, and Milwaukee winters. Given time, I'll bet that this venue becomes a favorite for those who head down to Summerfest. The last show of the season will feature none other than Elvis Costello. Costello plays on September 15.

Thursday, August 2, 2012

Brewers fans were excited to see their team sweep the Houston Astros at Miller Park. The Brewers take a short trip to St. Louis this weekend, and head back to Milwaukee for a two game series against the Reds. There is still a lot of baseball to be played, and Ticket King has a discount offer for you!
Use the discount code "HOTWEEKEND" and take 10% off any Brewers game, home or away. Here's the catch: You have until midnight this Sunday to take advantage of this offer. This special offer is short and sweet, just like that two game series coming up at Miller Park.

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

Turn the calendar to August, and you will see that Jimmy Buffett is scheduled to perform at Alpine Valley on August 25. Buffett fans are called "Parrotheads," and they are excited to know that this show is just a few weeks away. All they need is a bit of sun, and a parking lot to party in before Jimmy Buffett hits the stage. Alpine Valley has at least one of those two things. There is nothing they can do about the sun. Either way, the event will be great.

Jimmy Buffett tickets are currently priced at $59 each for lawn tickets. Pavilion seating is priced higher, but if you buy a pavilion ticket, you will be under cover, and have an actual seat to sit in. Some folks say that there is more fun to be had in the lawn section. I'll bet that's the case during a Buffett show.

The Badgers football program released their entire 2012 football schedule earlier this week, finally putting to rest speculation on the upcoming year. Wisconsin has long been a program which, despite its historic success, was undercut by less-than-challenging regular season schedules. This year, head coach Brett Bielema took advantage of laxer Big-Ten scheduling rules to change that perception, moving games to accommodate four out-of-conference opponents.
Those four are highlighted by Brigham Young University, who visits Camp Randall on November ninth.

Bielema had to move up a planned September twenty-eighth conference opener against Purdue a week earlier to get the Brigham Young game scheduled, meaning that the Badgers begin their Big Ten schedule a Saturday before the rest of the conference.
Two other non-Big-Ten teams will also make their way to Madison. Massachusetts will make the trip on the last day of August, kicking off the Badgers season, before Tennessee Tech visits the following week. Wisconsin's first away game comes against their third out-of-conference opponent in as many games, Arizona State, who they will meet on September fourteenth.

The Badgers head into five consecutive conference games starting with Purdue at Camp Randall on the twenty-first. They play their first conference opponent away from home on the twenty-eighth, when they play the Buckeyes in Columbus.
October is a strange month for the team, as they play just two games, four days apart. Northwestern comes to town on the twelfth, before the Badgers travel south to face Illinois on the nineteenth. The Badgers then wait nearly two weeks before playing the Hawkeyes on November second in Iowa.
Wisconsin wraps up the final full month of play with home games against Brigham Young, Indiana, and Penn State. Those three match-ups are straddled by an away game against Minnesota on the twenty-third, and the Big-Ten Championship game in Indianapolis on December seventh.

When you think of classic rock, you have to give a nod to the band Journey. Journey will perform at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on November 16. They will be joined by none other than Pat Benatar, and Loverboy. Journey has two dozen gold and platinum records to their name. They wrote nearly 20 hit songs, and their fans still come out in the thousands to see them perform live. Arnel Pineda is now their singer, and the band hasn't skipped a beat. Purists might think that this is not the real Journey, but once you hear Pineda belt out the chorus to Don't Stop Believing, you will forget all about their former singer Steve Perry. Their original drummer Steve Smith was also replaced, as he didn't think that the band was the same without Perry.

Pat Benatar and Loverboy Join Journey on 2012 Tour
Pat Benatar is also on this star studded rock tour. Benatar is known for her hit songs such as Hit Me With Your Best Shot, and We Belong. Benatar is joined by Neil Geraldo. Together, they wrote great songs, and will not disappoint fans of 1980's of rock ballads. If that wasn't enough, Loverboy will be on the bill. Loverboy is a band that has sold over ten million records, mostly before 1987. Their most widely known album is titled Get Lucky. Tickets are on sale now.

Do you have "Bieber Fever?" Justin Bieber comes to the BMO Harris Bradley Center on 10/21, and Ticket King has great seats. Checkout the special floor seating layout for this show. Bieber's stage will have a walkway that extends nearly fifty feet along the center of the main floor. Sit in sections one, two, or three, and you will surely get a close up view of this young, talented singer. Looking for a budget priced Justin Bieber ticket? We have seating in the upper level, that is priced just right.

Justin Bieber is now four years into his singing career, and is one of the most popular pop singers to come out of Canada. From the moment My World was released, Justin took a rocket ride to the top of the charts. Without a doubt, he's a teen idol to millions of kids. All it took was an accidental viewing of one of his early videos by a powerful marketing manager, and the rest is history.

His current tour is titled "Believe." He starts the tour in Glendale Arizona on September 29. This kid doesn't stop the fun until March 23, in Bologna. He will take a break in December, but fans might see some additional bookings for that month. If you miss the Milwaukee show, have no fear. He has two dates scheduled for the Rosemont IL - Allstate Arena on 10/23 and 10/24. See you at the BMO Harris Bradley Center!

Packers tickets. Are they hard to find? Ticket King has Green Bay Packers tickets for all home games, road games, and playoffs. There is no need to wait 35 years for season tickets. We have been doing it right since 1992. With offices in Milwaukee, and just across the street from the Lambeau Field parking lot, you could say that we have you covered.

The Packers schedule comes out in spring. Tickets are printed in the summer, but you don't have to wait for tickets to be in hand before you place your order. We have Packer prices the moment the schedule is announced. All ticket orders are guaranteed. Order directly from Ticket King, and you won't pay extra fees.

Finding Packers Tickets

Need help finding the right ticket? When they say that there are no bad seats at Lambeau Field, "they" are telling the truth. From the top row of the end zone, to the fifty yard line, the views of the field are amazing. One of our customers told us that they bought a pair of tickets in the upper-most row at the goal line, and had no problem seeing a rainbow throw completion from Aaron Rodgers to Donald Driver on the opposite side of the field. The NFL experience in Green Bay is like none other.

Packers away game tickets are no problem for Ticket King. We would be happy to provide you with a number of options for any venue. Do you want to see the Packers take on the Bears at Soldier Field? Call our Milwaukee or Green Bay office. We can walk you through the available sections, seating, and prices of any Packers away game. If you want tickets in hand before you head out on the road, we can do that too.

Ticket King is located just southwest of Cathedral Square Park. That's a good thing, becuase we are so close to Bastille Days 2012. It all started with the 5k run last night, and ends on Sunday night. In between that time, over 200,000 people will walk the streets of downtown Milwuakee, taking in the French and Cajun fun.

Do you have a craving for French food? How about some solid cajun cooking? It's all here this weekend. The business crowd will surely take advantage of the lunch options, even if that means a trip out into the hot summer sun. The festival starts at 11am each day. For those of you who just love to shop, there will be retail vendors lining the streets. There will be music and live entertainment throughout the weekend. Check the Bastille Days website for specific info.

The Milwaukee Brewers have an important 9-game stretch immediately following the All-Star break. 6 of these 9 upcoming games will be played at Miller Park and you need to be there! Brewers tickets are still available for all of these upcoming games. Sitting in fourth place in the NL Central division and just 4 games below .500, the Brewers simply need to win if they want the playoffs to be an option. The first home series will be against the Pittsburgh Pirates and the second home series will be against the St. Louis Cardinals. These two teams are already stand in the way of the Brewers' playoffs dreams so it's important that the Brewers win against both the Pirates and the Cardinals. Let's go Brew Crew!

It's not truly summer until you see the Dave Matthews Band live at a beautiful outdoor venue in the wilderness. In case you have forgotten, Dave Matthews Band will perform this Friday and Saturday at Alpine Valley (a beautiful outdoor venue in the wilderness). Ticket King Milwaukee can help you find great Dave Matthews Band Alpine Valley tickets for both Friday and Saturday night.

Upon conclusion of this summer tour, the Dave Matthews Band will release its 8th studio album. I bet you will hear some previews of this album this weekend at Alpine Valley. The Dave Matthews Band has long reigned as the champion of live concerts and you can expect to hear old favorites paired with new hits, served with a side of new improvisations. No two Dave Matthews Band concerts are alike and that is an impressive feat for a band that has been touring since the early 1990s. If you do decide to see Dave Matthews this weekend at Alpine Valley, just remember to leave with plenty of time to get to East Troy. Traffic can move a little slow as you get close to the venue, so if you're planning to tailgate, keep that in mind.

Phish Alpine Valley tickets are still available for this weekend's two-night event! It's not truly summer until you've attended a two-night Phish show at Alpine Valley. Both lawn seats and reserved seats are still available for both Saturday night and Sunday night. Great deals are still available, especially for Sunday night's show.

Alpine Valley has always been a popular venue for Phish as they have made many appearances there over the years. In fact, they've made 13 appearances there between 1996 and 2010. They even recorded their album, Live Phish Volume 5, at Alpine Valley in 2000. Phish live is a very unique experience that you won't want to miss!

It's getting to be about that time, Packers fans! Green Bay Packers season will be here before you know it. Time to start thinking about Green Bay Packers tickets and making plans to go to Lambeau Field. This Packers season, Ticket King Milwaukee (with the help of our friends at Major Goolsby's) will be running four bus trips to Lambeau Field to help make your trek to and from Lambeau Field a lot smoother. Leave the driving and tailgating to us! We have two options for bus trips to Lambeau Field for the following Packers games:

This option gives you access to a pre-bus ride tailgate party at Major Goolsby's and a round trip bus ride between Major Goolsby's and Lambeau Field.

Option #2: "The Whole 9 Yards"

The whole 9 yards includes a round trip bus ride, access to a tailgate party at Major Goolsby's before the bus ride to Lambeau Field, and one endzone ticket to the Packers game.

We all know that driving to Lambeau Field from Milwaukee can be a hassle, especially for games that are in the evening. Leave the driving to Ticket King Milwaukee and enjoy a hassle-free trip to Lambeau Field. Go Pack Go!

Summer has truly come to Milwaukee as Summerfest 2012 begins in just two days. At noon on Wednesday, June 27th, the Henry Maier Festival Grounds opens its doors for the eleven-day music festival that we affectionately know as "The Big Gig." I don't know about you, but I will be patiently waiting in line so that I can enter the fest at noon on Wednesday to get some eggplant strips and ride the glider. There are so many great shows at the Marcus Amphitheater this summer and Ticket King Milwaukee can help you find great Marcus Amphitheater tickets. The 2012 Marcus Amphitheater lineup is as follows:

If their latest single, "Windows Down" is any indication, Big Time Rush is not your average boy band. Sampling Blur's famous guitar riff from "Song 2, "Windows Down" is upbeat and sounds like it should be blasted on the dance floor. The song undoubtedly appeals to a larger audience, which means that people outside the band's target demographic will enjoy their show at Summerfest. Big Time Rush will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on Friday, July 6th as a part of their The Big Time Summer Tour. Big Time Rush Summerfest tickets are still available from Ticket King Milwaukee.

In case you didn't know (or have forgotten), Big Time Rush got their start on Nickelodeon on a TV series of the same name. They released their second album at the end of last year and have since gone on to sell over 3.5 million copies of their singles. They're currently working on the 3rd season of their show and subsequently their 3rd album. Expect to see that album at the end of this year or the beginning of next. Often compared to fellow boy bands, One Direction and The Wanted, Big Time Rush is looking to make their mark in the world of boy bands.

Does it get any better than summertime in the Milwaukee area? I don't think so. Between the great weather and the summer festivals, it is a wonderful time to be a Milwaukeean. Even better is the fact that Summerfest 2012 is just around the corner and so is the beginning of Alpine Valley's concert lineup. Summerfest kicks off on Wednesday, June 27th and Phish performs at Alpine Valley on Saturday, June 30th and Sunday, July 1st. Ticket King Milwaukee is here to help you find great Summerfest tickets and Alpine Valley tickets. The Dave Matthews Band will perform at Alpine Valley the following weekend, the same nights that Big Time Rush and Aerosmith headline the Marcus Amphitheater at Summerfest. It's tough to pick between the Summerfest 2012 lineup and the Alpine Valley concert lineup, but I guess that's the price we have to pay when we live so close to so many great outdoor concert venues. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy all that our great outdoor music venues have to offer!

In just 20 days from now, Summerfest 2012 will begin and Rascal Flatts will headline the Marcus Amphitheater as the first of 11 headliners. Rascal Flatts Summerfest tickets are still available for what promises to be a great night of country music. If you go to the show, expect cool special effects as Rascal Flatts is known for incorporating pyrotechnics, lasers, and video into their live shows. Rascal Flatts is no stranger to the tour circuit as the band has been touring since 2000. In fact, in 2006, Rascal Flatts was the most successful group on the road. They just released their 8th studio album in April of this year with their 7 previous albums going platinum. If you're a country music fan, you will not want to miss Rascal Flatts at the Marcus Amphitheater!

Tonight begins the first of a three-game home series vs. the Chicago Cubs. Brewers vs. Cubs tickets are still available for all three games! In addition, there are still some great ticket deals available for all three games. Tonight's and tomorrow's Brewers vs. Cubs games are both night games starting at 7:10 while Thursday's game starts at 1:10 PM. I always try to attend at least one Brewers/Cubs game at Miller Park because I enjoy the longstanding rivalry. As you know, a lot of Cubs fans show up for games at Miller Park in part because tickets are generally easier to get at Miller Park than they are at Wrigley Field. Grab your Brewers tickets and head to Miller Park to show those Cubs fans that Brewers fans are truly the best in the league.

With Summerfest 2012 just around the corner, it's a good time to start thinking about where to sit at the Marcus Amphitheater. Summerfest's Marcus Amphitheater lineup has something for everyone from the the Beach Boys to Aerosmith, Neil Diamond, or Big Time Rush. If you've never seen a concert at the Marcus Amphitheater, the task of picking a seat can be a little daunting. However, take comfort in the fact that there's really not a bad seat in the house at the Marcus Amphitheater. My number one piece of advice to Marcus Amphitheater concert-goers is to avoid sitting too far off to the side. Avoid anything with a side stage view. Also, it's also good to note that most of the shows at the Marcus Amphitheater feature a "pit." The pit is usually the first three or so rows in Section 2. These are the closest rows to the stage, but there are no physical seats.

The Marcus Amphitheater has four tiers of seating. The first two tiers are under the covered pavilion. The first tier of seating is sections 1, 2, and 3. These sections are known as the "red sections" because the seats are painted red. Section 2 is the center section, while section 1 is off to the right (when in your seats looking at the stage) and section 3 is to the left. Behind the red section lies the yellow section which includes sections 4-8. Sections 5 and 6 are in the center of the yellow sections.

Just outside of the covered pavilion are the bleacher seats. The bleacher sections are sections 9-21. Sections 14-16 are in the center of the bleachers. Behind the bleacher seats is the lawn area. The general admission lawn is grass seating.

Now that you know a little more about the seating at the Marcus Amphitheater, you can order your Summerfest Marcus Amphitheater tickets without any hesitation!

Since it's the official start of summer in Wisconsin, we thought that we would give away some great tickets to local events throughout the month of June. All you have to do to enter our giveaway is like us on Facebook, or retweet one of our @theticketking tweets. Easy enough? We think so! This week's giveaway is a pair of great Brewers tickets for Saturday, June 30. We will announce the winner on 6/7. Have a great weekend, and Go Brewers!

Teen pop sensation Justin Bieber will perform at the newly-named BMO Harris Bradley Center on October 21st. Bieber last visited Milwaukee in 2009 with a performance at the Rave. Since then, his career has exploded and he is perhaps the most recognized teen pop star. Backed by a devoted fan base of "Beliebers," Justin Bieber has become a household name. Bieber gained attention and fame from YouTube, where he posted video of his singing. A talented vocalist with a boyish face, Bieber had all the makings of international pop star. His concert in Milwaukee will be a part of his 2012 North American tour which comes on the heels of his new album, "Believe," to be released on June 19th. Ticket King Milwaukee is your source for Justin Bieber BMO Harris Bradley Center tickets.

Bieber will be joined by singer Carly Mae Jepson, who will open for his show. Jepson's hit "Call Me Maybe" has been all over the airwaves recently. Bieber helped Jepson find her fame by making her video go viral. What a guy!
